@jjhayworth LibGit2Sharp requires specific versions of the LibGit2Sharp.NativeBinaries package, which is why its shipped with the package version locked.

The 0.26.2 package requires you to use LibGit2Sharp.NativeBinaries 2.0.306 only. You should be getting a warning or error in your project to even have a newer version installed.

@jjhayworth I have

<package id="LibGit2Sharp" version="0.26.2" targetFramework="net472" />
 <package id="LibGit2Sharp.NativeBinaries" version="2.0.306" targetFramework="net472" />'

but still same issue Unable to load DLL 'git2-106a5f2': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

Hi, Did you ever manage to fix this? I have been having the same problem but have not been able to find a way to solve it.

If this only happens with release and when you try to run the exe elsewhere, check that the lib folder is beside it. lib contains the various versions of git2 dll.
